Oh how the mighty have fallen. How such an seemingly innocuous thread as this has just sundered my world. Ugh, I'm going to have to go tell some kids they can play on my lawn now 
All this has got me to thinking, the racial trait rules in Tasha's might not be so bad. Think about it, if you get rid of sub-races, and allow Tasha's, doesn't that really just get us to variants of all these stupid sub-races that seem to only be there to give a variety of racial stat modifiers? I think I'm going to have to go read Tasha's now in earnest. And maybe come to some modification like; no sub-races, but each race has a selection of stats they can add their modifiers to and a collection of racial traits or feats. Tat would allow tribal/social/geographical differences in races to be flavor, and allow players to play a specific race without having to find some silly sub-race variant to get to the class or archetype they are looking for. All without making race meaningless for class choice.
Ugh, I hate when the world shifts underneath me!
(Yes, their is supposed to be humor and/or sarcasm in my post, but also seriousness. You decide which is which.)
